What a gorgeous little place The Loft Cottage is. Louise was a very friendly and approachable host, gave us very useful tips about the surrounding areas. It's very quiet there and peaceful, ideal for a getaway from the modern world. The Loft was very clean and tidy when we arrived and was left with a cute letter and some local snacks.
